Destiny is on a BREAK, alot of people needed to take a break after such a long time and play a NEW game for a little bit.

allow me to say something different then....grow up kid....no one cares....

Ill be back in y7 and watch every body cry considering y1, y2, y3, y4 , and y5 weapons armor (everything) will be useless. Kinda stupid that a random can buy the taken king right now, come on, and play for a few months and get better gear than me while I've been playing since beta. -blam!- that shit.

Everything done in Y1 being practically pointless in Y2 is a huge factor imo. Why play if you've been shown that it'll all be for naught in due time. The marketing scheme to basically force players to buy TTK is also a factor. In TDB and HoW expansions players w/o the expansions were still able to enjoy playing the game. DLC map crucible was a seperate playlist and players with and w/o the DLC would populate the regular playlists. My brother barely touches Destiny because he doesn't have the expansion and I've been extremely hesitant to buy it for him because of my own growing disinterest to play. Weapons (particularly exotics) don't feel all that unique or fun to use. I have little interest to raid because the weapons are lack luster af, although the armor pieces are pretty cool. As I play I'm asking myself 'why do I care about x' with increasing frequency and today I couldn't even get enough interest to play. I felt like playing Destiny but once I loaded a character up I just sort of sat in orbit trying to decide what I could/should do and came up with nothing; sort of just kept Destiny up while I browsed Youtube on my lap top. Y1 I could 'log in' and always had something to work towards due to the Vanguard and Crucible Mark acquisition system. I could play strikes or crucible and have fun while working towards something. If I felt like raiding for w/e reason I could do so and even if the gear wasn't important to me (after having acquired 90% of raid stuff I wanted) the event wasn't dead because I knew people in the group wanted something from the event, and being there when someone gets what they've been striving for is pretty cool. How Leg.Marks are acquired, uninspiring weapons and armor, 80% of previous content being removed from playlists or made entirely pointless, TTK's marketing scheme, and NF's that feel unrewarding in their best case scenarios have brought 0 longevity to the game and have destroyed the longevity system the game was living on in the latter stages of Y1. This stage of the world progression is not fun to play in at all. We killed everything in Y1 and now there's nothing in the galaxy to fight. Why even call it "Year 2" as if it's a new beginning when fighting Oryx is basically the end of the story. TTK brought great improvements with it but too much was tinkered with and has made the game feel rather unrewarding to play despite all the changes put in to help players feel rewarded. Who cares what gear you have if there's nothing interesting to do with it. - All I end up doing nowadays, when I actually play, is running patrols to get glimmer for the Gunsmith, completing the test weapon quest/bounty things, and crucible. I haven't touched a strike in weeks and strikes were something I did a lot of in Y1. The new strikes are pretty fun but the playlist is boring af. 6 strikes were removed from rotation and 3, 4 on PS, (well 5 on xbox with the PS exclusives) were put in to replace them. 1 playlist strike on Earth, 0 on Luna, 0 on Venus; everything is on Mars and the Dreadnaught ffs it's so boring. - : Wow this got pretty long and ranty :

Bungie will release some of the time gated exotics most likely next week. I'm pretty bored so I might come back for the rest of the exotics.
